At some point later in life, Summer entered a relationship with Taiyang after Raven had left him, the two having a daughter, Ruby Rose, and Summer took to raising Raven's daughter, Yang Xiao Long, as well. Summer's family lived in Patch as she left regularly to carry out missions. According to Yang, Summer was like a "supermom", "baker of cookies" at home and "slayer of giant monsters" due to her Huntress career.

It is revealed by Qrow that Summer acknowledged and utilized her abilities through her silver eyes. It is unknown when and how she discovered her abilities and to what extent.

Death

When Yang and Ruby were still young, Summer went on a mission and never came back. Specific details surrounding her fate are undisclosed or unknown. According to Yang, Ruby was likely too young to be able to fully comprehend what had happened.

Taiyang did not handle the news nearly as well as Ruby; Yang saying that he simply "shut down". It is after this that Yang learned Summer was the second love that he had lost, the first being Yang's mother, which makes Summer Yang's stepmother.

Haven Arc

In "The More the Merrier" Ruby attempts to sway Raven into joining the fight against Salem. Raven responds, somewhat contemptuously, "You sound just like your mother", before beginning the attack on Haven.

In "Our Way", Ruby thinks of Summer to tap into the mental state needed to use her Silver Eye powers, and she successfully petrifies a Leviathan in Argus.
